The atmosphere between the four of them froze for a few seconds, and the expression on Ye Qing's face was visible to the naked eye. Qiu Xuan sighed in her heart, thinking that if she really counted that, one of the four of them would not be a "person" now.

Ye Qing's tone was a little hesitant, "It's not an executioner...... What else could that be? ”

"That kind of thing." Shen Jingxue's answer was also very fast, "Haven't you encountered this situation before, ghosts and ghosts are mixed in the execution officer's team to kill people." Or some supernatural force that quietly drags the entire team into the abyss. ”

"And how do we believe you're not 'that kind of thing'?" Ye Qing calmed down again, and his inquiring gaze swept around Shen Jingxue and Qin Jiuyuan. "Or maybe you just said it on purpose, in order to split the executioner's team from the inside before they were in distress."

Shen Jingxue shook her head and smiled, "Don't be stupid sister, do you think that our fourteen executioners are peaceful on the surface, but aren't they 'torn apart' from the beginning?" As for how to tell...... My intuition, as a pre-onmyoji's intuition. ”

Ye Qing glanced at Qiu Xuan, who had not spoken.

"Let's go, go to the tailor's shop." Qiu Xuan didn't say anything, and glanced down at her nails, "The most important thing now is to find clues, you have to rush back before the sun sets." ”

Shen Jingxue glanced at her with a smile, and said meaninglessly: "That's right." ”

……

"To make a wedding dress, you need a red cloth to make a wedding dress, otherwise there is no negotiation."

The tailor shop is located on a small road near the center of Jinlin Village, which is quite a lively area, but for some reason, there are not many people in the shop. As soon as you enter the door, the messy and cramped smell of dyes comes to your nose, and if Ji An is here, I am afraid that she will sneeze so crazy that she has to leave the store.

The owner of the shop, an old man who looked thin and thin, cowered in the shadows where he could not be easily found. Qiu Xuan was almost startled when he first spoke, and then the old man with a yin owl on his face slowly turned around from the shadows, and the skin on his face drooped layer by layer, looking like a human skin hanging on a skeleton.

"Sir, may I ask if a couple has come to you recently to order a wedding dress?"

Shen Jingxue asked politely, but the old man coughed heavily, and said in a hoarse voice: "To make a wedding dress, you need a red cloth to make a wedding dress, otherwise there is no need to discuss." ”

"It's not that we're going to make a wedding dress," Shen Jingxue said. "Yes, may I ask you, have any couples come to you recently to order wedding dresses?"

The old man rolled his eyes at him vigorously, and his tone was too bad to be. "I said I had to bring a red cloth to do it! You can't understand people, do you? If you don't understand, get out, and again, the only way to make a wedding dress is to use a red cloth! ”

If it weren't for Ye Qing pulling Shen Jingxue in the back, these two people would not have to do it in the store on the spot.

Shen Jingxue's hair was stroked, and she couldn't see the fluttering posture of the fairy wind bones in front of the students before. "Who are you with these two old things, who are you talking to, who is it who can't understand people's words, believe it or not, Lao Tzu smashed your shop!"

"What are you doing?!"

Ye Qing pulled Shen Jingxue from behind in disbelief, "It's okay to calm down, in case you mess with the key person, we won't all be finished when he gets angry!" ”

"I'm going to be scared of this?!"

Qiu Xuan glanced here a few times and then didn't look at it again, as if nothing had happened, she walked to the hanger hanging next to her and went shopping. Qin Jiuyuan followed quietly, also looking at a leather coat hanging on a shelf.

"You know Shen Jingxue, right?"

In stark contrast to the lively scene on the other side, Qiu Xuan looked at the clothes and asked coldly. She didn't name who she was asking, but now it seemed as if only Qin Jiuyuan was available to answer her question.

The man was silent for a few seconds, "I'm not very familiar with each other, I've only met a few times in the previous trial grounds." …… How do you see that? ”

His identity in this world is quite well arranged.

Qiu Xuan sighed with emotion, "If it weren't for someone who had a little intersection, you would have kicked people out a second before he caught up." ”

Qin Jiuyuan was silent for a longer time this time, and after a while, he changed his tone, propping up his hand on the shelf as if he wanted to regain his inexplicable confidence through this action. "Do you think you know me well? It was also before...... Okay, I'm going to believe you have that special ability to know someone's real name, but then what? And that Shen Jingxue, you seem to know him too, how did you know him? ”

"I wasn't sure if I knew it, but now I'm kind of sure." Qiu Xuan raised his eyes to look at his face, "As for then...... Originally, I walked with Chen Ye (Ye Qing's pseudonym in this world), didn't you follow it yourself? ”

It was originally impulsive, but now there is nothing to say. Qin Jiuyuan put down his arm stupidly, "I just said it casually." ”

Qiu Xuan: "It's okay, I'll just answer casually." ”

“……”

"Did you fall asleep last night?" Rows of clothes that were slightly rough on hangers were swept over, and Qiu Xuan suddenly spoke. The latter was stunned, "I didn't sleep, what's wrong?" ”

"I want to ......"

"Phew! Stinky old man, I won't accompany you, keep your torn clothes for the rest of your life! Shen Jingxue's side seemed to have ended a one-sided scolding battle, and the slightly infiltrating boss didn't even give him a look.

Shen Jingxue pulled Ye Qing and walked out the door, "Let's go!" ”

Ye Qing struggled twice and didn't break free, and immediately turned cold and was about to pull out the gun, Qiu Xuan hurriedly took a few steps forward, and half-pulled her and her group out of the tailor shop with Shen Jingxue.

"To make a wedding dress, you need a red cloth to make a wedding dress, otherwise there is no negotiation."

In the depths of the dim and cramped shop behind him, there seemed to be the voice of the boss in a strange tone again, and Qiu Xuan looked back, and the shriveled old man had returned to the shadows. The only eyes that showed up met her gaze, and the boss suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and pulled out a wry smile.

“…… What the hell are you crazy about? ”

Ye Qing shook off Shen Jingxue angrily, and the latter took two steps forward, brushing his scattered hair back as if his face was changing, and he looked like a gentleman again.

Qiu Xuan glanced at him, "What do you see?" ”

"Yo, it's worthy of Lao Qin...... Ahem, it's not. Under the nuclear and good gaze of the three people in the team at the same time, Shen Jingxue cleared her throat and raised her hand to arrange her upturned collar. Did you notice that there were several gas masks next to the chair where the old man was sitting. ”

"That's it?" According to the reactions of other people, Ye Qing also quickly reacted that Shen Jingxue had deliberately performed it just now. "We also have gas masks on our motorcycles where we live."

"He doesn't have any graffiti on the back." The light was so dim that it was hard to see even the chair in the shadow behind the old man, let alone what was sitting next to it. But Shen Jingxue was so categorical, "Those masks are all new, as if they had just been produced." ”

Also, all the gas masks they had seen in the village had been painted with the kind of abstract and weird lines drawn by unknown people, including the people on the modified motorcycles that Qiu Xuan saw in her "dream" last night. Although it is not known why villagers in such a poor and remote place still need to wear gas masks, this is indeed a clue similar to "after the sun goes down".

"Maybe the boss is the mask maker in the village, just like he makes wedding dresses."

Shen Jingxue's face was a little dignified, "But he doesn't look like a tailor at all." Have you noticed his hands, let alone a person who has been holding scissors for a long time, even if it is a normal man of his age, the skin on his hands will not be so delicate, just like a young lady raised by a large family. ”

Several people fell into deep thought again.

"Forget it, let's go first, hurry up and go to the temple." Shen Jingxue said and took the lead in rushing to the end of the village, "I don't want to spend it until dark." ”

Compared with the simple and barren environment everywhere in Jinlin Village, it is not easy to build a temple of this scale in such a background.

Qiu Xuan raised her head and looked at the temple, which was not very majestic but too abrupt compared to the village, and couldn't help but suspect for a moment that the villagers had taken out all the money for the construction of the village to tinker with this temple.

The four of them stepped out of the inner layer, and Shen Jingxue was amazed at the reliefs that had been carved around. "This craftsmanship is not ordinary, it stands to reason that such a small broken village will never be able to afford a craftsman at this price."

When they arrived, the temple was not as deserted as the tailor's shop.

The comings and goings were more familiar to the villagers and the construction team who had never met at all, and almost everyone had a busy job to complete, as if they were setting up the auditorium.

"Whoever gets married has such a big pomp, forget about the villagers, this construction team is not cheap."

"He is the only son of the Xie family who started by reselling crude oil in the village." Shen Jingxue was still staring at a relief sculpture carefully, and after hearing this, she opened her mouth with two hearts, "The Xie family is also one of the richest families in the village, but I heard that she married a girl from a foreign country. That girl seems to be from the town, and when she was outside, she looked back and forth with the Xie family, and this time she said that she was married to Jinlin Village. ”

Qiu Xuan interjected, "Can I go and meet that girl now?" ”

"The bride is not allowed to see her, not only the groom, but also no one." Shen Jingxue finally ended his observation of the relief, exhaled and said, "It is a local custom in the village, before getting married, the bride must stay in the house alone for a week, and no living person can see it, otherwise she will be targeted by 'ghosts'." ”

"Ghosts".

Qiu Xuan was not sure for the time being whether the word meant a real tragedy in the past for the villagers or just a rumor, and the people who came and went around were so busy that they couldn't wait to grow eight hands, and no one had time to deal with the problems of outsiders.

They wanted to take a look at the half-furnished marriage hall and compare it with the halls they remembered, but they didn't take a few steps when they were stopped by a villager with an unkind face.

"What do you guys do?"

"I heard that someone is getting married, congratulations, congratulations. We haven't seen a local wedding and want to come and see it for a long time. Shen Jingxue almost wanted to become the social ambassador of their four-person team, but it was also reasonable, these four people didn't laugh and looked at all the villains in the past, so Shen Jingxue seemed to be more reasonable.

His kind face did not impress the fierce villagers. "Our own internal wedding, what are you doing here? Hurry up and go, the auditorium will not be allowed to enter, you people have just finished digging the grave, you people don't bring bad luck in. ”

"What is digging a grave, this brother, we are a serious archaeological team."

"I don't care what you are, anyway, the auditorium won't let you in, and if you don't leave here, I'll have to call someone!"

Considering the scene of the zombie siege of the villagers who had just ended, they still didn't choose to be tough, but just took a few steps back and walked around the temple. The villager who seemed to be the overseer didn't seem to have the time to keep an eye on them, but whenever someone took a step closer, the gaze of the gloomy owl that appeared out of nowhere always stuck to that person with unmistakable precision until it left of its own accord.

"The wedding starts in a week, which means they have to fix for at least seven days, and we can't go in for seven days."

Qiu Xuan: "You can wait for everyone to leave and sneak in." ”

"The construction team starts when the rooster crows, and then they will work until the second before the sun sets." Shen Jingxue finally found a villager who could talk a few words, and scolded after learning the situation, "What kind of person is this Xie family, it's too oppressive of labor." ”

This time is a harsh time, and if you want to enter the auditorium, you have to wait until after the sun sets.

It's just that the problem is that after the sun sets, even the villagers of Jinlin Village will not choose to go out. By that time, the village had completely turned into a dead city. Sometimes the reminders of the world's key indigenous people are enough to be heeded, no one knows what will happen when the sun goes down, and it seems that no one wants to be the first to eat crabs for the time being.

Wait.

As for now, the auditorium cannot be entered, but the temple is indeed open.

Go in and have a look?

Qiu Xuan motioned to a few people. Anyway, it's not in the way, and the four of them just stepped into the temple where they didn't know what the rules and beliefs were, and they were next to the hall where they got married.

Surprisingly ordinary.

As long as it is a somewhat similar world plane, except for the different gods and Buddhas enshrined, the temple should be similar in design. And this temple seems to be dedicated to only a statue of a god, located in the most conspicuous center of the main hall, with a kind face of the statue with a low brow and a kind body, and a tall figure shrouded all the people who entered the temple.

In the air, there seemed to be a faint unknown voice.
